Turns out Disney did not fire him, mostly just benched him for a while, by most accounts never seriously looked for a replacement and now he is back in.
Obviously I would have preferred it for Disney to walk away with both middle fingers raised to permanently offended, and still don't consider anything he did in any way troubling (other than "apologising" for it but he can do him if he wants), but still a bit amusing to see.
